Tenth Annual Conference in Vienna:European Air Law Association
1998 had seen further efforts by the European Commission to reduce the number of natural monopolies in the air transport market. The Council of the EU discussed a Directive aimed at regulating airport practices by limiting the level of charges, putting an end to unfair practices and improving transparency for users. At the same time, the Commission set conditions on airline alliances after having carried out investigations into several alliances between EU and US carriers. Another significant issue in 1998 has been the review of conditions of carriage and tickets in consultation with the Commission and with consumer organisations, as well as the proposal for a revision of Regulation No. 895/91 regarding denied boarding compensation. Also in high profile during 1998 has been the proposal for a multilateral treaty between the EU and Eastern European countries regarding the adoption of the air law regime of the EU and EU competition law, which would create a common European aviation area. These various developments have provided the principal topics for discussion at the Association's annual conference for 1998.
European Air Law Association:9th Annual Conference in Madrid
1997 has seen the removal of the last remaining qualifications for a fully liberalised EC air transport market, and increasing signs that liberalisation is stimulating structural changes and producing significant benefits for passengers. It has also seen the focus of regulatory attention moving from liberalisation to safety matters, with initiatives in the field of foreign safety oversight, the reformation of Eurocontrol and the creation of a single European aviation safety authority. Also in high profile during 1997 have been EC/US issues – in connection with transatlantic airline alliances (particularly British Airways/American Airlines) and the Commission's reaction to the Boeing/McDonnell Douglas merger. These various developments provided the principle topics for discussion at the Association's annual conference for 1997 in Madrid.

Against the background of a long-awaited upturn in its economy performance, the air transport industry in 1995 continues to undergo radical change in structure and regulation. Issues of particular importance in Europe include new or impending developments in the areas of ground handling and state aids, and issues which are attracting significant attention for the first time, such as agreements with the U.S. technical harmonisation, flags of convenience and cross-border ticketing. The Association's annual conference for 1995 returned to London, where its first annual conference was held in 1989, and addressed these issues, as well as others which were current at the time.
European Air Law and Policy
At the end of 2002 the third package has been in force for ten years. It was therefore a good moment to review the record in terms of compliance and problems which have been encountered. Competition Law continues to play an important role in the airline sector and topical issues include frequent flyer programmes, the response by traditional airlines to law-cost airlines and arrangements between low-cost airlines and airports. For the last few years state aid to airlines had been a dormant issues, but it is now back in earnest ¿ in connection with the very different responses of the EU and the US to the events of 11 September , the similar but different fates of Sabena and Swissair and the o...
